The Freestore Foodbank presents this year’s Taste of the NFL, which brings together Bengals players, fans and the best restaurants in the area to take on the increasing problem of hunger in Greater Cincinnati. Bengals linebacker Keith Rivers will host the evening with chefs Jose Salazar and Summer Genetti.

In addition to auctions and raffles, this event pairs local chefs with athletes and coaches from the team.

Best of all, the price of one ticket will help provide enough food for 600 meals. $150 for an individual ticket, $200 for the Hall of Fame ticket (includes name in program) and $2,000 for the Quarterback Sponsor (includes 10 tickets and names in program).

6:30 p.m.-9:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Club Lounge at Paul Brown Stadium, Second and Elm Sts., Downtown.
